What our clients have to say.
I had dry and severe dandruff. Dr. Padmaja advised me a shampoo and a dietary supplement, and these helped me significantly reduced dandruff. Follow up check 9 months after my first consultation, the trichocopy photos show hair roots are healthier, hair shafts are thicker than last year. Hopefully there'll be more positive results on my hair density.
Have now been seeing Padmaja for approx 3 months
I highly recommend her after seeing results for myself - my patch is almost completely covered with new hair growth.
At the start, the cost of the first consult and reccomended products can be a bit daunting, as it was for me.
I have been going to Padmaja for about a month now and already there are new little hairs in what were empty follicles before! Padmaja is always so patient and reassuring and I like that her treatment involves natural diet and some drops for the scalp and special shampoo and conditioner instead of heavy medication or transplants etc. Thanks so much for your help Padmaja!
I had a patch from stress and diet condition. I’ve been consulting her and it’s been a very rewarding journey..
Using her knowledge and expertise, she’s helped have a better routine for a healthier mind body connection. That’s been a big part of her treatment,and her products aid the process.
I have been struggling with my hair and scalp since I was young, and Padmaja has been a saving grace. I have been seeing her regularly for over a year now, and since then, my hair is the thickest it's ever been, it's soft and shiny, and it has given me a boost of confidence.
I am seeing Dr Padmaja for the loss of my eyebrow hair, and I find her to be a very warm and caring person while always delivering an effective analysis and treatment plan. It is great to see the progress made and to have a plan for the next step. My hair is looking so healthy now, and my eyebrows are very slowly but surely growing back. I also really appreciate the way Dr Padmaja is always ready to answer my many questions, and the way she has done up her wonderful new treatment rooms.
I was losing hair and wanted it to stop. After following the instructions from Dr Padmaja, grabbing the vitamins, the laser cap and eating more healthy I started to see results after a year. Even in very stressful and uncertain times when people normally lose their hair, I didn’t lose them and I got more new hairs on places where I was losing them.
It takes discipline, consistency and make it a habit to follow the plan, but is worth it as it’s a natural and healthy way to re-grow the hair.
I have been under the kind, caring and knowledgeable care of Dr Padmaja for almost a year now and can honestly recommend her and her treatments very highly. I sought her services out for significant hair thinning, after trying to find an answer to the cause, seeking advice from a specialist, GP, and many natural health practitioners and not having a holistic view of my hair health and the most effective way to reverse the problem.
